  • Patent number: 4424949
    Abstract: An adjustable paint tray support for use on a ladder having a bracket for attaching to one of the legs of the ladder is disclosed. The bracket contains a section for engaging one of the steps or rungs on the ladder. A support member for the paint tray is pivotally connected to the bracket. The support member has a raised portion at each end for engaging the paint tray. A clamp is positioned on the bracket to engage a portion of the support member to releasably secure the support member with respect to the bracket.

  • Patent number: 3993998
    Abstract: A directional loop antenna, particularly for television signals, comprising a conductive member shaped into a folded dipole configuration is disclosed. Covering the conductive member is a plastic material which may comprise two coaxial coatings of different dielectric constants. The folded dipole legs are formed into a generally circular configuration with the folded ends brought together and overlapped to form a pair of loops. The two loops thus formed lie in planes which intersect each other at a point beyond the forward side of the antenna. At the opposite side of the loops, the two ends of the conductive member emerge to form terminals for connection to a transmission line. At this side of the antenna the loops are spaced farther apart than at the side where the folded dipole ends overlap. This construction results in a highly directional antenna capable of wide frequency band reception with a good match to a 300 ohm transmission line.
